Summary
Transforming our estate for the future
There’s never been a more exciting time to join the NHS as we transform our estate to deliver 21stcentury care and the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Estates are at the centre of the government’s plans for transforming the NHS. The NHS Long Term Plan outlines the need to ‘accelerate the redesign of patient care to future-proof the NHS for the decade ahead.’ We have laid the groundwork for fundamental change to enable us to deliver on this commitment across our estate and we now need you to help us reap the rewards of this work.
We have big ambitions, such as becoming the world’sfirst net zero health system by 2040, setting global standards for healthcare providers.
This is a pivotal time in the history of the NHS and we have an exciting opportunity to be part of transforming the largest estate in the country. Join us as we embark on this seismic shift to future proof our estate.
The NHS Estate
Our hospital estate spans 25 million m² with 1.4 million NHS staff working across 17,000 buildings, including 1,140 hospitals and 7,500 primary care sites, our c100k staff are responsible for maintaining and running all EFM services.
With £5 billion of operational capital funding and annual expenditure of £10 billion across estates and facilities management, there’s scope to make real change across our estate.
